Preparing to install Express edition

Before installing the server verify the special considerations are met.

Special instructions for Linux

Review the following special instructions when the Jazz™ Team Server is installed on Linux®.
  • If Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is enabled, you must disable it or change the security context of the Java Runtime Environment (JREs) to allow text relocation in order to install and run Rational Team Concert. For more information, see Installing Rational Team Concert with Security-Enhanced Linux.
  • The Jazz Team Server installation path names must not contain spaces. The startup script (JazzInstallDir/server/server.startup) and the repository tools script (JazzInstallDir/server/repotools.sh) detect and report this problem.
  • Increase the maximum number of files that the Apache Tomcat user can handle to 5000. On Redhat Enterprise Linux, you can do this by adding the following lines to /etc/security/limits.conf:
    tomcat_user hard nofile 5000 
    tomcat_user soft nofile 5000
  • The Reports component requires that 32-bit X11 libraries be installed on the server. On Redhat Enterprise Linux 5, the required packages are libXp, libXinerama, and mesa-libGL.
  • If you are installing DB2 on Linux, set the shmmax 1GB.
